Because of the caste system. Why would you convert to a religion where you're a dalit?

1. You can't "convert" to Buddhism
2. "Conversion" is an Abrahamic faith idea. A monotheistic idea. You have a Western bias when it comes to religion. The very idea of organized religion is a western bias.

For example, the word for "religion" did not exist in Japanese vocabulary until it was introduced by the Catholics. To them, practicing Shinto while also practicing Buddhism was not only perfectly fine, but also to be expected. Even today some Japanese will practice what we today call more than one religion.

Hinduism is insular. It's polytheistic. It has many branches. The very idea of a "unified Hinduism religion" wasn't a thing until the 1700s-1800s when the British took over.

Hinduism did spread through parts of southeast Asia outside of India but was later replaced by other religions like the ones you listed. There are still Hindu minorities in parts of Indonesia.

Part of it is that Hinduism is much more geographically centric than pretty much every other religion since it places a lot of emphasis on the Ganges River as it's most holy place.
While Islam does place a lot of emphasis on the city of Mecca, Muslims can obviously live wherever the hajj isn't mandatory so they don't all have to visit Mecca. Christianity has had a disconnect with Jerusalem ever since the crusaders lost so there's no special geographic region in that religion either. Meanwhile jeets are encouraged to visit the Ganges whenever they need to purify themselves or whatever.

Also it used to be a religious taboo in Hinduism to go overseas. (I wish it still was we wouldn't have to put up with them.) Jeets rarely left the Indian subcontinent because the Himalayas formed a natural land barrier, and this taboo kept them from spreading overseas. This taboo only became less of a thing after the British did some kabbalah-level rule bending to make jeets feel like they weren't breaking this taboo by bringing water from the Ganges with them. So it's pretty hard to spread one's religion when they're confined to their containment subcontinent. They also considered all non-Hindus to be as impure as dalits so they didn't really want to interact with them as opposed to Christianity/Islam/Buddhism which sees everyone as a potential convert with proselytizing to.

>why do only indians care about hinduism?
Hinduism is literally just a branch of Indo-European Polytheism anon, India is literally the last holdout of Pagan tradition, albeit their own Indic variety of Pagan tradition but regardless, the reason India held onto it while Europeans lost it was because of Christian cultural conquest in Europe (and by extension Muslim cultural conquest of the Arab World) that didn't happen in India.

Like the guy before said, conversion is not a logic Hinduism natively subscribes to. That said, the things we regularly call Hinduism (as well as the entire package of Indian civilization) did spread from India into South East Asia. All the Hindu territories sans Bali and iirc some minorities were either Buddhafied or converted to Islam (with the subsequent importation of Islamic civilization).

It should be clarified that Hinduism and Buddhism are still mutually exclusive ways of thought.
>The very idea of a "unified Hinduism religion" wasn't a thing until the 1700s-1800s when the British took over.
And it was essentially just a census category for them.

Btw, the conversion of Indonesia to Islam was mostly superficial up until decolonization.

No, isn’t. Hinduism is not the same as vedic religion
